Unveiling a groundbreaking exploration into one of the Ramayana’s most astonishing chapters, Sugriva’s Atlas reveals a sophisticated understanding of world geography dating back to 14,000 years ago (12209 BCE). Drawing from over 600 astronomical observations, this book challenges conventional history and places scientific inquiry at the heart of BharatiyaItihaas. Discover how Sugriva’s instructions to the Vanarasena astonishingly map the Arctic Circle, polar daylight, aurora borealis, and lands stretching from Uday-giri (modern Chile) to Asta-giri (the Alps)—with accuracy that suggests first-hand exploration, not poetic imagination. Co-authored and meticulously researched, Sugriva’s Atlas is not just a commentary—it is a torchlight for researchers, urging them to move beyond academic consensus and embrace evidence-based analysis. This book blends astronomy, geography, history, and spiritual insight, honouring the sacred depth of our epics while decoding their scientific layers with shraddha and viveka.
